Archive everything, you will need to pull your batteries
After you run it, press down and left

.whatever
Clrdraw
DiagnosticOff
[FF818181818181FF]->Pic0
0->X->Y
Repeat getkey(9)
X+(getkey(3))-(getkey(2))->X
Y+(getkey(1))-(getkey(4))->Y
Bitmap(X,Y,Pic0
DispGraph
End

After it did the blinking, hold up and it will remain dark

I've tried other hex's but this has worked the best

With bitmaps, you need to tell it how wide/tall it is. Try putting a Data(H,W) before it that stores to the pic/gdb/etc.
Like...
:Data(23,3)→GDB1 .23 pix wide, 3 pix tall :[EEA6ECEEA4CA8AECEC]
Then use GDB1 in the Bitmap() command.

What I'm guessing the problem was without those coordinates and looking at that hex, it thought it should draw a sprite 255 ($FF) pixels high and 129 ($81) wide. Feel free to speculate what happened after that

Also, since it's an 8*8 sprite (I'm guessing? That looks right in 8*8 ) why not use Pt-On? 0.o

Edit: Added the coordinates in wabbit and it worked as it should.
However, it's kind of weird using enter as the quit key because it immediately continues again..maybe use a different key for that
